MICHIGAN -- Officials say four dogs that attacked a teenage girl outside a Monroe County home in April have been euthanized.
The Monroe Evening News reports Friday that this follows an order by a judge, who decided earlier that the boxers were dangerous.
Authorities say the dogs ran outside the home in Frenchtown Township and attacked the high school junior, who was standing in the front yard. The girl reportedly was bitten more than 200 times and underwent five surgeries. She was hospitalized for 10 days.
Frenchtown Township is located about 35 miles southwest of Detroit.
The dog's owner is charged in the case. He wasn't home at the time, but believes his dogs were trying to protect his house and a litter of puppies.
